We've had several different breeds of horses and they've all chewed wood at
one time or another. Out in pasture they chew bark off tr

The only time I have had "trouble with trees" is when my colt got to the
apples under the tree. He blew up and the Vet laughed when he tubed him as
you could smell the apples. Down came the tree!!

Maybe I gave the wrong idea in the original message.
Except for a few of the trees that I don't want them
to destroy, I am not really worried about the trees.
I worry that eating the bark and wood will make them
sick but so far they seem t

Well, let's face it, Horses, (Fjords especially) were born to eat
vegetation: brush, trees, tree roots, grass, broadleaf plants, etc. The
quickest way to clear an area of shrubs and trees is to turn horses out in
the area. When I built

I too agree with Carol on her post regarding a fjord raffle, or any live
animal raffle.
I belong to several dog clubs and if any member raffles off any dog, we are
automatically
expelled from the club.

My horses don't chew the fence much because I have
electric on the board fence but we have a lot of trees
on the property (over 200 sabal palms alone) and they
frequently eat the trees. They prefer the smooth bark

Hello to everyone on the forum,
I would like to suggest to the forum that ALL the donated money goes toward
the vet bill for Catherine's colt, not just half. When I donate money for t

Hi All,
I think that there has been some great discussion on this topic. For
those of you who have insurance, I'm curious:
1) Do you have major surgical, or major medical/surgical? I'm thinking
that there might be some pretty serious (and expensive)

I run a electric wire about 4 inches above the wood rails and inside the
rail about the distance of a insulator. My horses don't seem to chew
when put in wood either, but I think it may be because they haven't
chewed on

I realize there are many who don't like raffling off an animal, this
is true of the dog world as well (maybe moreso), and many solid
reasons can be given against the practice, but when you stop and think
about it, unfortunate circumstances

Hi Cheryl - I have used the Pfizer plan for years for my horses. It is
free through your vet. But it is only for colic and only for $5,000. I
did have a friend who had to use hers, however, and Pfizer came through
as promised.
What you have to do, as

Horses are funny sometimes. We had a gelding (Mo) that would match his pasture

with the stallion he would bully right back. When we had a horse that might be

Janet you bring up a good point. Personally, instead of paying the

I haven't heard the suggestion of how you do that in a conformation

something like this before though.

Here in Canada we can no longer buy creosote. We used to use it so the
horses wouldn't chew the wood. Just wondering, what others are using to
deter chewing? I don't mean just small spots, I mean a whole round pen.
Thank s.
